Eighth-Year Linebacker Is One of the Highlights on College Football 'All-Geezer Team' originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
College football isn’t just for the fresh-faced 19-year-olds anymore. Just ask Hawaii linebacker Logan Taylor, who’s entering his eighth year of college football, has three kids, somehow still finds time to hit people and appears in The Athletic's All-Geezer Team, constructed by Stewart Mandel and Sam Khan Jr.
Taylor’s journey started in 2018. Since then, he’s played a season at junior college, bounced back from two brutal season-ending injuries and been named a two-time team captain at Hawaii.
Oh, and in case that wasn’t enough, he and his wife just welcomed their third child this February. That’s right, while most college seniors are figuring out how to do their laundry, Taylor’s got a full-on family of five.
He even took part in Hawaii’s senior day last fall, thinking his career was finally wrapping up. But thanks to a legal victory involving Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia, Taylor earned an extra year of eligibility for that long-ago JUCO season. “I can’t believe this rule even passed,” he told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Honestly, neither can we.

Now, Taylor finds himself on The Athletic’s beloved “All-Geezer Team,” a lighthearted tribute to the oldest dudes still suiting up on Saturdays. And the standout defender fits right in.
Not only is he a veteran leader in the locker room, he’s also the kind of guy who can break down film while changing a diaper. Talk about multitasking.
Last season, despite the injuries and the mileage, Taylor was still making plays. He collected 52 total tackles, finishing second on the team.
So here’s to Taylor, the diaper-changing, tackle-making, eighth-year linebacker who refuses to call it quits. He might be older than some of his coaches' assistants, but he’s still out there proving that age is just a number, especially when you’ve got three little ones and a spouse cheering from the sidelines.
